Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego Homecare and Senior Caregiver Agency supports National Safety Month by publishing, 3 Ways to Make Life Safer and Happier for Senior Citizens. “Family members can help their loved ones stay safe and make the best of their golden years by providing assistance in several ways,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways to make life safer and happier for senior citizens.

Cyber Security for Senior Citizens - Being online is a part of modern social culture, but seniors are one of the most often targeted age-groups for cyber-crime. Family members can help elderly loved ones understand the dangers of sharing personal information online and encourage them to create strong passwords that are unique.

Outdoor Safety - Spending time outside in the fresh air and sunshine is one of the best ways to fight the effects of isolation and depression. Family members should make sure elderly loved ones understand the pitfalls of summer heat by helping them avoid too much time in the hot sun and the importance of staying hydrated.

Home Safety - Family members can help seniors stay safe at home by getting help from a qualified home nursing company. Having a trained professional available to check in on a senior is smart. While care typically involves medical assistance, it also includes help with personal hygiene, light housekeeping and offers companionship on a regular basis.

The benefits of aging at home are clear. Seniors thrive with the tools and resources to stay independent. If you’re facing complex decisions, in home help may be the right solution.

Here are three reasons families choose in home skilled nursing care.

Comfort and Peace of Mind 
Rather than place a family member in an assisted living center or a nursing home, some families opt for in home skilled nursing. For patients, staying at home is comforting. And for concerned family members, the peace of mind in knowing mom, dad or another loved one is happy and safe is invaluable. 

Increased Involvement In Care     
Having a skilled professional to help administer care, while keeping you informed is an easy way to remain involved in the process.  Families looking for medical expertise can get it, while still playing an active role in day-to-day activities and care.  

Senior Independence Boosts Mood     
In home caregivers offer expertise and hands-on knowledge helping seniors through a variety of daily activities, from dressing and bathing to running errands. With a helping hand, seniors can continue to lead the socially active lives they’ve come to love.
